116. Nice smear, zappaman. Lane, as an attorney, defended Liberty Lobby.

Jan 2013

Lane proved to a jury that E Howard Hunt was in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963 as part of a CIA operation to kill President Kennedy.

He detailed his reasoning in "Plausible Denial," published in 1992. E Howard Hunt filed a defamation suit against a right wing mag that had named him as being in Dallas on company business. Victor Marchetti, then an assistant to Richard Helms, reported the agency was concerned the public would learn the truth. He confessed later to participating in the assassination on his deathbed.

What Mark Lane may best be known is "Rush to Judgement," a critique of the Warren Commission, published in 1966.

I'm not surprised you don't seem to know any of that, zappaman.
